Part of Longton's own little Bermuda Triangle!

            The old Duke of Clarendon public house, now a charity shop, sits on the junction of The Strand and Heathcote Road in Longton.
This triangle of land, extending to the far left of the shot, and including two pubs opposite on the right hand corner of the photo, contained seven public houses, where it is said that many men disappeared for days without trace. 
In particular, The Earl of Clarendon, The George and Dragon (th' Owd Hut), and the Shamrock were where the local police believed that they could find any of the towns miscreants at any time of the day or night.
I can't find any specific date for the building of this pub but it does appear on the 1881 census.
The main entrance to Longton Market Hall on The Strand (formerly Stafford Street), Longton.
Originally built in 1863, the building has recently undergone refurbishment with the help of a grant from English Heritage.
Longton town centre is listed as a conservation area at risk by English Heritage.
